It's got a new radiator on it, still not very big but better than what was on it. It's a struggle every which way, not got loads of room width wise, old curved radiator I had fouled on lock, and if it's too far forward the front tyre will touch it on heavy braking. At the moment what's on it doesn't have any of those problems like I had with the other two I tried, partly down to the slimmer fan too so everything's more compact. I might make some fins for the side of the radiator to try and direct the air through it better but apart from that it should be good enough.

Had a little run to rivvy yesterday was really pleased with the bike it didn't miss a beat. Only a short ride but everything worked well, quickshifter is brill, cooling system much better and generally running better. Still think there are more gains to be had on the ignition and carb needles but it was pretty good.

Also met a member of NWB when I was leaving, not sure who it was as I've not met many on here so sorry if I seemed a bit confused at first! Was on an MV turismo or something I think.

@yazza5454 hey hey hey it twas me, i've read every post since your build started- even looked for a similar project until it looked like some serious spending happened and i thought the nelli drinks enough haha.

Your bike looks AMAZING!!!! Especially as it was so sunny too. Must meet up soon the lot of us, pub quiz if riggers manages to sort it

MV looked smart

cheers that was an impulse but after an RnineT was wrecked and my Brutale RR tried to kill me. Got the Turismo and then the Benelli was fixed a day before i took delivery ffs.
I'll come see you on the nelli when its MOT'd, i really really fancy a hybrid smoker
